Le discours de Clinton: entre l'Amérique comme idéal et l'Amérique comme réalisation
No full text Abstract This paper is premised on the argument that an analysis of the speeches of American presidents can reveal much of the values of a generation of Americans. In this case, the author examines Bill Cllinton as presidential can- didate and as president to explore what it was in his campaign that appealed to the American electorate, what values and visions he advanced, and the ways in which those values spoke to the American character. He notes that with the end of the cold, war, America has seemed, uncertain of its destiny and. role, so absorbed had it been in the cold war struggle during the generations that followed World War II. In Clinton's speeches, the author finds a call for action, a positive and. sacrificial approach to American life resonant of the New Deal and New Frontier of Franklin Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy. He finds in Clinton an appeal to duty and honour, to basic morality and com- mitment to a sense of community, a commitment to the uniqueness of the American experiment and the optimism of the American spirit, a departure from the culture of narcissism that he suggests characterized- American in the 1980s. </jats:p
Is There an Ideological Link Between Neopopulism and Neoliberalism?
No full textABSTRACT This paper deals with the resurgence of populism in Latin America, and particularly with the ideological underpinnings of this phenomenon. Quite unexpectedly, populism has reemerged in several countries, such as Argentina and Peru, in the wake of drastic and all-encompassing neoliberal reforms. This novel situation calls for a reinterpretation of the populist phenomenon. The author contends that neoliberalism and neopopulism have established a strong link at the ideological level. In order to provide empirical evidence for this hypothesis, a corpus of Carlos Menem’s presidential discourse has been analyzed. The author concludes by suggesting that neoliberalism itself tends to stir up populist tendencies in society.</div

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Populisme et néopopulisme en Argentine : de Juan Perón à Carlos Menem
No full textCet article propose quelques pistes de réflexion sur la réapparition du populisme en Amérique latine dans les années 1990. Il décrit plus particulièrement les parallèles et les contrastes que l’on peut établir entre le « nouveau » populisme et le populisme « traditionnel ». Au moyen d’une analyse comparative du « péronisme » (présidence de Juan Perón, 1946-1955) et du « menemisme » (présidence de Carlos Menem, 1989-1999) en Argentine, on examine les représentations sous-jacentes du projet populiste qui permettent d’expliquer leur prégnance et leur capacité de mobilisation. On conclut que le populisme est un type de mouvement qui met l’accent sur le rapport empathique entre dirigeant et dirigés.This paper deals with the resurgence of populism in Latin America during the 1990s, and particularly with the similarities and differences that can be observed between “new” and “traditional” forms of populism. Through a comparative analysis of Peronism (Juan Perón’s administration, 1946-1955) and Menemism (Carlos Menem’s administration, 1989-1999) in Argentina, the author examines the representations conveyed by populism in order to explain its efficacy as a project of political mobilization. He concludes that populism is a type of movement that emphasizes the empathic link between the leader and the followers
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
